I was standin' by the window
On a cold and cloudy day
When I saw that hearse come rollin'
For to carry my mother away.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
I said pitty, undertaker
Undertaker please drive slow
For this lady you are carryin'
Lord, I hate to see her go.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
Oh, I followed close behind her
Tried to hold up and be brave
But I could not hide my sorrow
When they laid her in the grave.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
I went back home, my home was lonesome
Missed my mother, she was gone
All of my brothers, sisters crying
What a home so sad and lone.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, Lord, by and by
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky.
There's a better home a-waitin'
In the sky, Lord, in the sky...
